I'm posting one puzzle, riddle, math, or statistical problem a day. Try to answer each one and post your answers in the comments section. I'll post the answer the next day. Even if you have the same answer as someone else, feel free to put up your answer, too!
That second one...I'll tell you what it reminds me of. Certain orthodox religious groups tends to walk in that pattern, where the males (reprsent by the jack and the king) walk several paces ahead of everybody else (the women and children, as represented by the queen and all the numbered cards).
I very much doubt that's what you were shooting for---just what popped into my head.
Looks like the bottom is a jack and a king short of one heck of a straight in a game of rummy. The top probably represents the Tele show "3rd rock from the sun"
I could be way off, but it almost looks like the second is from a card game. Jacks trump, followed by king, then the other cards. That doesn't seem quite right, though.
Leave your answer or, if you want to post a question of your own, send me an e-mail. Look in the about section to find my e-mail address. If it's new, I'll post it soon.
Please don't leave spam or 'Awesome blog, come visit mine' messages. I'll delete them soon after.
Hmm, tough one.

Mike, I'm participating in the Summer of Compliments and I wanted to send one your way.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy going to your blog to try out the puzzles, I even get some of them. Please keep up the good work.
Jon, I really appreciate the compliment and I have to say today got a little bit better.
ReplyDeleteAndy, uhhh... that's not what I was going for... ;-)

ReplyDeleteIs the first one the Earth?
ReplyDelete2nd one I have no idea.

ReplyDeleteThe first one is the third rock from the sun (i.e. Earth, or that TV show).
ReplyDeleteThe second one was harder. It's Hijacking... Get it... High, Jack, King?
Is this thing on? ;-)
You Goober.
ReplyDeleteWhat, you didn't like my joke? ;-)
ReplyDeletei'd have to say 'highjacking' is pretty good...certainly would be worthy of this class of puzzle.
ReplyDeleteOh, so now I'm getting it from all sides, huh?
